1All my [company] The word which we translate Company, is rendered, The joints or members of the body by the Vulgar Latin, Thou hast reduced all my members to nothing: As if he had said, Thou hast loosened the whole compages, or structure of my bones and body, thou hast untied, or cut asunder all the ligaments that held me together. This translation is but an allusion; because the members of the natural body are like a company of men joined together in a civill or spiritual body, which is therefore commonly called a Corporation. Some contend much for this sense, Thou hast made desolate all the members ⟨p. 251⟩of my body: Especially, because the scattering of his Family doth not so well agree, or comply (say they) with the weariness before complained of, nor with the leanness, and wrinkles, which are spoken of afterward; both which belong properly to the body.
